Alright guys, I am wondering any of you have had this issue before. I am having a bit of a weird problem on my 08’ Alpha. So yesterday was the second time I took the doors off my Alpha. In the past I have done this over 30 times or so on my 06’ Lux and the process was obviously the same. Everything checked out except that the airbag light was on. This happened the first time as well, so I know this airbag light only turns on when the doors are off. Not really sure what to make of this since it never happened on my 06’. When I crank the alpha the light comes on, then off, then back on.
Here is the sequence:
- Put key in and crank
- All lights come on as usual, Airbag light blinks 7 times
- Christmas lights turn off after a few seconds as usual, including airbag light
- 5 Seconds later airbag light comes back on and stays on
Now it is important to note that airbag DOES turn off for a few seconds and also blinks. I say this because when I pull the airbag fuse out and turn on the truck the light stays on permanently, no blinking or shutting off. Not really sure what to make of this, but I know something different is happening. One big question I have is the airbag still working? I haven’t scanned it yet because I don’t have a scanner that will read airbag codes. However I will see if I can borrow one from a friend. Just wondering if anyone had a problem like this before.
Not really sure if this helps in any way, but the first time I took the doors off, I only took the front two off and this second time I have all four off. Not really sure this matters through because the only important door is the drivers door since it controls the power locks and windows.
